How high of a lift can I go without having to replace everthing. I just want a little bit more clearence on the jeep. All the kits I see have lots of things to intall with them. I really dont want to buy new shocks just yet or extenders. It is a 09 Rubicon all stock except for a warn winch and bumper. I would also like to level the jeep out in process with the lift.
Thanks

 

I would recommend the TF Leveling Kit from what i've read on here.... you can search here for some who have put in on with 33's and it looks good... very simple spacer install with nothing "extra" needed.. Pretty much the least expensive suspension mod as well evens out the factory rake with 2" front and 1" rear

 

I would ask how high do you want to go? What do you want to do with your lift? Bigger tries, just look cool, off roading?

 

ive just lifted my jeep 2.5" but that waswith shocks and coils, but you could do it with the budget boost pucks aswell and level it out at the same time. although 2.5" doesnt seem a lot, its visibly higher and made a big difference offroad, abviously if you gonna go hardcore offroading you would need to upgrade this lift to something bigger, but if your on firly basic trails 2.5" would be enough. Also with this amount of lift you dont need to go replacing everything underneath for it to work properly.

 

Doing it partly for offroad and apperance, second to level out the rake in the jeep. Was thinking about bigger tires but not till the factory ones are worn out, too much cash for new rims and tires when the ones on it are brand new. So a 1 to 2 in lift wont require longer shocks, track bars ( will the axel shift be noticeable) and such? Wanting to do it one the cheep for now.

 

I just purchased the Tara Flex Budget Boost 2.5" lift with shock extensions. Been reading the install write up on here for it. Its easy man, and its very few parts for like $337 USD. Then you can go from there with bigger tires etc.

 

I just installed the Teraflex JK leveling kit on my wife's 09 unlimited and it is a very easy install and looks good. 2" in front and 1" in rear. Didn't have to change anything else except the swaybar disconnects that come with the kit.

 

Crazydog do you have before and after pics? Are you still running stock tires on your wife's rig?

 

TF leveling kit is a great idea. I think you should get the BB however, extremely simple install.

 

Take a look at the OME kit from Northridge. Thats what I am looking at doing.
